"Crackle, crackle......"

The red-hot fireplace warmed the living room, but Princess Ophelia's heart was as cold as if she had fallen into the abyss.

She sat on the classical leather sofa, her beautiful brown eyes revealing indescribable sadness, and she looked at the intricate dome in distraction.

"Mother is dead, brother is dead, Brother Kyle, William has already sent someone to hunt down, I'm afraid it's already ...... Now you want me to marry that Kalu, the son of the old Muto. ”

"Father, mother, brother...... What can I do? What can I change? ”

She remembered that seven or eight years ago, when she was only a little girl of six or seven years old, her brother had not been on the throne for long, and her mother was alive and well. The elder brother had a special regard for the Earl of Auschwyn, then Vice-Chancellor and Minister of Military Affairs in the Cabinet, and often summoned him to the palace. And every time the Earl of Auschwynne entered the palace, he would take Brother Kyle to play with her.

Until that party, my brother, who had drunk too much and was a little excited, announced in public that he would marry her to Brother Kyle when she became an adult. Making such a decision without consulting her made her ashamed and annoyed, and she was reluctant to talk to her brother for three days.

When the Earl of Auschwynne entered the palace again, he never brought his brother Kyle with him. And one day she finally mustered up the courage and angrily asked the Earl of Oswynne: "Uncle Oswyne, why didn't Kyle come to play with me, is he avoiding me, hmph, this coward." ”

Count Auschwynne stroked his goatee with a smile and said, "Kyle, blame me for forgetting to tell Her Royal Highness Princess Sù that he got into the carriage to the Holy Alliance seven days ago and went to study at the Ernst Academy of Magic. ”

She tilted her little head curiously and asked, "Ernst Academy?" Far from us? When will Brother Kyle be able to come back to play with me? ”

The Earl of Auschwine shook his head with a smile.

His Majesty Next to him said with a smile: "Ophelia, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, Ernst Academy is more than half a year away from us. Besides, it's probably not a long time since you've seen your brother Kyle, and the average time to graduate from Ernst Academy is thirty-eight years. ”

She widened her eyes in disbelief: "Thirty-eight years? Then I'll be an old girl. ”

His Majesty held his stomach unscrupulously and laughed: "Don't worry...... Don't worry, when you're fourteen and you can get married, I'll send someone to get Kyle's boy back as your husband. ”

She was so angry that she stomped her feet, her brother, the villain, was laughing at her again, and Brother Kyle, who ran so far away without even saying hello, so that she didn't want to marry him.

With tears in her eyes, she turned her head and ran to her mother's palace, only her mother was truly good to her in the world, and she would never laugh at her.

Behind him came the voices of Count Auschwine and His Majesty Best

"Your Royal Highness, be careful."

"Ophelia, my brother is wrong, my brother shouldn't laugh at you, don't go to your mother to complain."

It was as if it had happened yesterday, and the voices of her brother and Uncle Oswyn seemed to be echoing in her ears.

She looked at her white and slender right hand, and she spread her five fingers, but a black dagger appeared out of thin air. She stared at the dagger, her eyes becoming firm, and in an instant, she raised her right hand, and the dagger gradually disappeared into thin air.

She once saw a mysterious black-robed man in the collection room of this mansion who had no idea how to enter here.

The man stood there lazily, admiring a beautiful stone sculpture more than 2,000 years old in the collection room.

"Make a deal."

She vaguely felt that the man in front of her was an extremely strong man. So she knelt before the man and begged him to kill Duke Mutuo and Kaiser Wilhelm.

"It's impossible, the price is not equal at all, and," the mysterious man looked at Ophelia, "Although I have seen many beautiful women in the thousands of years, there are really few beauties of your level. Hey, it's a pity, you have too much trouble, and I'm most afraid of trouble......"

"So, so be it, this stone sculpture belongs to me, and all you can get is ......"

She stared at her wrist, where there was a tiny black spell.

"Is there a chance I can get an assassination?"

A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, if she was seen by the world, I don't know how many young people would be fascinated by it.

"It's pointless to live in the world, Duke Mutuo, the day of the wedding is when you lose your son."

On a winter afternoon, sitting in the warm living room, Princess Ophelia leaned on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep, but in her deep sleep, she showed a faint smile. Perhaps for this poor princess, there is only happiness in dreams.

……

"Crackle, crackle"

The fire in the fireplace gradually became smaller, and the cold outside also invaded the warm living room.

The sleeping princess leaned on the sofa as if she felt a chill, she frowned, crossed her hands on her chest, and curled up like a poor kitten.

"Step on ...... Tread"

Strange footsteps could be heard in the living room, from far and near.

A young man dressed in a splendid aristocratic dress walked up to the princess with a blanket and placed it over Ophelia's body.

He stood there silently, staring at the princess's brow, which seemed to feel the warmth of the gradual calming.

Winter days are always so short, and the sun begins to set in the west around 5 p.m.

The princess, who had woken up, stretched out and showed off her graceful figure, and the blanket that covered her body slipped to the floor.

Ophelia looked sleepily at the blanket on the floor, confused

"Usually if I don't command, those Williams sent me over, saying that they were taking care of me, but in fact, they were the court ladies who were monitoring me, and it was impossible to do such a considerate thing."

"Step on ...... Tread"

The bewildered princess suddenly heard a series of footsteps from the passage of the living room.

"Strange footsteps, who could it be if it wasn't those female officials?"

Hardship has made this beautiful princess immensely strong, and no matter what happens, she will not panic, because life and death have been put aside by her.

However, when she turned her head to look, it was ......

A young man dressed in a beautiful aristocratic dress, with an elegant temperament, a slender physique, and a handsome face.

With black hair and black eyes, and a steaming cup of black tea in his hand, he walked over to Ophelia.

When the princess approached, he placed the teacup containing the black tea on the coffee table and made a tea ceremony to the princess.

He smiled and whispered, "Your Royal Highness Princess, when you wake up, you might as well drink a cup of black tea to refresh yourself." ”

The princess stared at him, but her eyes grew moist......
